Possible Causes

Hard water with insufficient detergent, Rinse aid under-dosing, Booster or final rinse temperature too low, No water softener or softener malfunction

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow wares to cool before handling.

  • Check water hardness: Test incoming water hardness. If above Hobart’s recommended range, install or service a water softener.
  • Adjust chemicals: Increase detergent and rinse aid dosing within supplier guidelines to improve soil removal and sheeting.
  • Verify rinse temperature: Ensure final rinse temperature is at specification to aid drying and reduce spotting.
  • Descale machine: Run a descaling cycle using a Hobart-approved descaler to remove internal limescale from the tank, booster, and arms.
  • Monitor results: If spotting persists, work with your chemical supplier to fine-tune the chemical program.
